Washington Post gives Obama's health care promise four pinocchios

“That means that no matter how we reform health care, we will
keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you
will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care
plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will
take it away, no matter what.” -–President Obama, speech to the American Medical Association, June 15, 2009 (as the health care law was being written.)

“And if you like your insurance plan, you will keep it. No one
will be able to take that away from you. It hasn’t happened yet. It
won’t happen in the future.” -–Obama, remarks in Portland, April 1, 2010, after the health care law was signed into law.

The Washington Post, a legacy newspaper that has never been mistaken as conservative, has given President Obama four pinocchios for lying about his Obamacare plan. Four pinocchios is considered a "whopper" of a lie in the Post's ratings.
